Needle Arthroscopy for Osteochondral Lesions of the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint: A Standardized Approach

“…Various needle arthroscopic techniques have been performed in multiple joints for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. 2 , 3 , 4 , 9 , 10 However, literature on needle arthroscopy of the first MPT joint is lacking. 5 , 6 The use of needle arthroscopy, with its small diameter, leads to less damage to surrounding soft tissue, resulting in improved cosmetic outcomes and reduced wound complications compared to traditional arthroscopy or arthrotomy.…”

“…It can be stated that further innovation will arise from needle arthroscopy, which gained popularity as a feasible technique for accurately diagnosing and treating a wide range of intra-articular pathologies in a variety of joints and patients, including the MTP-1. 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 Indications and contraindications are listed in Table 1 . The present technical note aims to describe a standardized approach to needle arthroscopy of the first MTP joint using the needle arthroscopy system (NanoScope; Arthrex, Naples, FL) for osteochondral lesions of the MTP-1 joint.…”
